Detail solution

Let $u = 2 x$ .
The derivative of sine is cosine:

$\frac{d}{d u} \sin{\left(u \right)} = \cos{\left(u \right)}$
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} 2 x$ :
1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
  1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
  So, the result is: $2$
The result of the chain rule is:

$2 \cos{\left(2 x \right)}$

The answer is:

$2 \cos{\left(2 x \right)}$
